Black Panther Is The MCU Movie Stan Lee Cannot Wait To See

Marvel has so many movies slated for release over the next few years, even someone of Stan Lee's stature might struggle to keep up. The comic book creator and cameo actor is considered something of a Godfather figure in the superhero genre. And, given his depth of knowledge on the subject, his opinion counts for more than most.

The Sci-Fi Genius Nobody Knows Will Be A Household Name For Lee

Appearing on an interview for Nerd Reactor, Lee was asked about his most anticipated movie on the horizon and it was a straight forward response.

“Black Panther," he replied without a moment of hesitation. "It’s our first black superhero. And boy I think he’s going to be a big hit. At least I hope so. I’ve got my fingers crossed. I like the Black Panther because, first of all, he’s not the typical way you’d write about a black guy.

Nobody knows the story about the whole Black Panther. And I’m not going to tell it all. You’re going to have to go see the movie!”

Inducted into the White Castle's Cravers Hall of Fame, an obscure crossover question was put to him about the fast food restaurant and the MCU.

"I’d want to eat White Castle with the Hulk," he admitted. "Because then they would be giving us a lot of them. He’s got a big appetite and I hope I get my share. I love White Castle hamburgers.”
